Hi Chris

Well done you really are a star!!

It is such a beautiful stone.  I must try to get down to Ore before this lovely grave is desicrated as it seems that the church has been.

Regards

Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / Edmund Wenham

Hi Everyone

Does anyone have any information on Edmund Wenham who was the Sexton of Hastings cemetery around 1870 when he lives in Ore.  For some reason he does not appear in the 1881 census (at least he is not on the LDS transcript).  Is he still around in 1891 I wonder?

Hi Chris

Thanks for the MI's. I don't think that the Hastings, Halton and Hooe Thorpes are mine unless they are decendents of an offspring of  a very early ancestor that I have not picked up. The MI's from Pett and Guestling are definitely mine but I think that I have seen all of them except possibly Bertha's.  If you have some good photos of these I would be interested in copies.

The real interest is in the couple from Ore.  These were Christopher Thorpe and Mary Farncombe who were married in Ore in 1711. These are my 6 x great grandparents!!!!
Please please send me more details, church, photos etc so that I can visit the grave when I next get down to the Hastings area.  What a great find that has made my membership of Rootschat worthwhile after only one day!!!

Thank you so much.

On a slightly different subject I have been contacted by 'L' who has information for me on the Ades family.  This was a personal message but when I clicked the link in the email , I got a message saying 'you are not allowed to send personal messages'.  How can I get this unblocked to that I can find what information 'L' can send me. Can you help?

Kind Regards

Roger

Hi Chris

I do have the 1841 and 1851 censuses for the area but I would love to know what the 25 monumental inscriptions relate to because I certainly don't have that many.   As I live in Cheshire it is not easy to get to Sussex to explore the churchyards.  Please let me have any details that you have on Thorpe MI's especially in Ore, Fairlight, Guestling, Pett, Winchelsea and Rye.

Kind regards

Roger

Hi Everyone

I am a new mwmber of Rootschat.  My special interest is in the Thorpe family of Fairlight.  My mother was one of the last Thorpes to have been born there.  I have a huge amount of 'family tree' data and there is probably not much more that I can add except at the very recent (post 1900) and the early (pre 1700) ends of the timescale.  However I now want to try to put some meat on the bones particularly for the 19th century when there were about 80 members of the Thorpe family living in the area between Hastings and Rye.  Basically I am interested in any detail however small on members of this branch of the Thorpe family what they did, where they lived etc.  Any contributions will be greatfully received.

By the way I am also interested in Ades, Wenham and Willett families from the same area.  I have much less detail on these families and would love to hear from other members who have similar surname nterests.

I reallise that this first posting is rather general and will post some more specific questions in due course.
